Charles loved yardwork, propagating plants, landscaping, and raking and burning leaves! He loved building and construction in general. He loved playing his guitar and singing. He loved history and documentaries. A yellow dog democrat through and through, he loved politics and had a large following on FB with like-minded friends who respected and applauded his often controversal opinions. He enjoyed his FB interactions immensely! He also loved science fiction and definitely believed we have been visited by aliens. He had a variety of interests, including genealogy. He loved being with his grandchildren.
